I've been using Strivectin moisturizers both face & eye for a few years. What I'm using up now are samples or gift with purchase I've had. I'm in the market to try something new & have been leaning towards Clinique. I love their Moisture Surge. I'm interested in your feed back on those 2 brands. Thanks

I don't know anything about Strivectin. I've always liked Clinique products. They're fairly priced and never scented, which I like. Their All About Eyes creams are good, but I generally don't buy separate eye products and just use my regular moisturizer for my eyes.

On those two comparisons I have gotten better results from Strivectin, especially SD, but I try to stick with the dr denese line. I agree that moisture surge is good, but compared to dr denese dream cream, no comparison. I've tried several Clinique items in the past but most of it feels too greasy on my skin, which makes the application of makeup a nightmare.

I'm absolutely loving the Dr Denese Hydroshield line. I use the Hydroshield serum, cleanser, and the Dream Cream.

I used the Strivectin products that were the TSV on Q last year. They really dried my skin out and did not moisturize or fill in my wrinkles, especially at the chin & neck area. I sent one set back & ended up throwing the other set away just last week! I have no experience with Clinique, but I wouldn't buy unless it was returnable!

I have never used Strivectin products, so can not speak about them.....

But I LOVE Clinique products. I have oily/ combo skin, and Clinique's Moisture Surge line is wonderful for my skin. I love the regular Moisture Surge and use it under my makeup daily- absorbs immediately and I am never left feeling tacky or greasy, for me it is just the right amount of moisture. I also use All About Eye daily- my eyes are extremely sensitive and this has been the only moisture product I can tolerate. In the PM I switch to All About Eyes Rich and Moisture Surge Intense. Right now as the heat is crankin in the house I often (in the PM) switch to Moisture Surge Mask- it is wonderful, and a little heavier in feel but absorbs and leaves my skin feeling and looking fantastic! Why don't you get a few samples of these products and see how your skin reacts, as everyone's skin has different needs.

Good Luck!

I had a sample of Clinique Turnaround Overnight Radiance Moisturizer and really liked it.

I ordered it last month from Macys and it is a pretty big jar. It goes on like silk, dries fast and acts like a primer too. I love this stuff. I put it on morning and night just because it feels so good. It is 47.50. It is for very dry to combination skin and doesn't break me out.

Thanks ladies. I so appreciate your feedback. Strivectin is good but expensive. Clinique is alittle less and you often get samples or gifts with purchase. I've not tried any Dr Denise products, except maybe a few in the Beauty Test Tube. I forget to mention, I'm 52 so moisturizing in very important. As I've gotten older I seem to be more dry. I'm gonna give Clinique a try. Thanks again
